Love Diary #32

A tender outdoor scene anchors this 1964 Charlton romance issue, with a young man leaning in to kiss a red-haired woman kneeling on the grass — speech bubbles reveal his earnest marriage proposal and her hesitant plea for more time to think. Dick Giordano's cover linework captures that push-and-pull of the heart beautifully, teasing the featured story "Unhurried Heart" with the question lingering at the bottom: why does Janice keep holding back when she knows she loves Bill? Writer Joe Gill and inker Vince Colletta bring the interior drama to life, making this a warm, emotionally honest entry in Charlton's romance line.
